Instead of calling ourselves Atheists, can we just call ourselves Adelusionists?
(Thanks, Sir Oliver Cromwell. I read this in one of your answers and found it to be funny)

black? Egypt is on the continent of Africa but the Egyptian people are not black nor do they resemble African blacks in any way. To me it is like saying that the Spanish must look like Germans or the Italians must look like the Irish because they are all from Europe. These groups are extremely diverse in both appearance and culture. This all makes no sense to me.

With God all things are possible
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them. With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Dear Friends, As we look ahead , no doubt we all have prayers we would like to have answered, we all have expectations. We tend to set goals for ourselves that is wonderful to do, especially determination concerning faithfulness to God and seeking his will for our lives.
I want to encourage you today with these words from Jesus above. With God all things are possible.

Which group are qualified & accepted by God?

1. A wise, positive mind & kind holy human that caltivate compassion, understanding, generous & work hard.

His race & religion's group will be very pround of him.

He is happy to be success & is very happy to see other friends or race success or even better.

All religion group & race in the nation love him as hero.

or.

2) A human being that pray day and night, use the name of religion & race obtained money, power & status.

He annouced that he is fighting for his race & religion, try his best to keep all the chance for his race & religion group to take part.

To show that he is hero of the race & religion group, he will fight so that the chance are not provided for many other hard work well qualified race.

He will fight to stop the plan of other race that provide the chance easy for his race to gain the knowledge for better life & it is open to other race. They want the plan fail by saying it is not for the nation

Here in Europe it simply means you are going for a swim, but I've heard that in the US the term is immediately associated to homosexuality or somebody wanting to show off his pack. Is it true? I need to know for a translation I'm doing, as if I'm not more specific the full meaning will be lost and I shall burn in translators' hell for eternity.

We as Americans need to quit looking at color and start looking at the truth.I am not sure of all the facts and I am not saying race isn't a factor here.But from what I can see and hear there is an injustice being comitted here and that should cause all of us to be concerned no matter what race, religion or culture we come from. Equality and justice for all is what America is supposed to be about.Making it a racial issue rather than an injustice will only produce division, hatred, and more racisim at best.Try and look at this without color and then we all will see the truth.

I don't know what I have done to you, whatever it is I am sorry. All I do is go to work, come home cook dinner, go out to pay some bills, come back home and sleep most of the time. I know you all have statistics of blacks doing everything wrong and all that other stuff. I don't contribute to your negative govt. stats about blacks but you have some reason to hate me anyway.

Whatever I did so wrong towards you I apologize for it.

Your so angry and hateful towards me yet I have never done anything wrong towards you personally. So you take it upon your self to treat me badly because of my features. Again whatever it is I have done I am sorry for it.

I just thought keeping to myself would avoid getting all of you so angry but apparently I have done something so wrong that you have to treat me wrong without even knowing my name.

Here is a tissue if it makes you feel any better. Do you want me to write a personaly apology to each and everyone of you so you can get over your hate?

For example, you have "Hispanic Caucasians and non-Hispanic Caucasians". Don't all these people come from Europe and are considered white? In Spain, there are many people with blonde hair and blue eyes. Spain is next door to France. Spain is in Europe. So why are Spanish made to be different than the other white Europeans?

Post it. But then comment on the truth given by the poster above you. Just be nice.

I'll start:

Hate is the absence of love. To get rid of hate fill the empty space with love.

Whether or not our beliefs are the same, shouldn't we be standing by those of other faiths in their darkest hour of oppression? Using the "Domino Theory" as a guide, wouldn't the outcome of the conflict in Burma set precidence for possible future oppression of religions worldwide if a worldwide stand is not taken?

What wrong with Africans and Black Americans why they hate our skin color for. We are human-beings to, these things makes me so sad when these people of Asian decent or Russians people hate us bc are skin color.

Sometimes I talk to God at night are talk to myself an ask Why Why did you made Human-beings, Why is it so hard for us blacks. Then I say well you made ppl of diffrent colors/race.

Tell you the turth I really don't like Asian ppl bc They don't like us an they always look up to Whites. Every race/Ethnic people always think whites are the best an gods and then hate blacks bc our skin color.

Would you want to be on the shift with one bad boss and you like the people, or a shift that you don't like the majority of the people and somewhat ok boss? I recently went back to a shift I was on the majority of the time since I've worked there and I hate it. I am hard worker, and all know that, but there is so much tension on old shift, and already they are turning around everything I say. There is more money, but is it worth it? I want to eventually get more training/school elsewhere to get into different line of work altogether and thought by leaving day shift open I could look around for classes. I am tempted to see if I could go back to other shift? I don't know what to do?

John 5:37 Also, the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. YOU have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his figure; 38 and YOU do not have his word remaining in YOU, because the very one whom he dispatched YOU do not believe.

Rather than even paying attention to an argument from a Christian, atheists just reject and ignore an argument simply because it's coming from a Christian. That is immature and it shows weakness in your beliefs (or lack of beliefs). You are so stubborn and bigoted against Christianity, you won't even entertain a Christian argument.
You can create straw man arguments for Christianity and then easily refute them, but you cannot refute the real arguments that are presented.
Is it because you know that if you actually gave it some thought instead of ridiculing it, that you would not be able to be refute it and you'd have no choice but to accept Christ? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of being confronted with the truth of the Lord?
